[Tutor] python plotting

[Francois Dion]

I'm guessing you loaded from pandas import *... It is better to import
pandas as pd, then use pd.read_csv. I also tend to name my data frames df
or a variation and time series as ts.

Speaking of series, If your data is not a series with a datetime type, then
it will be plotted as a categorical, meaning each different X value is
represented at a constant interval, in index order. You need to convert
your time string to a datetime. (pd.to_datetime is your friend).
